Bold illustrations and funny stories make Mr Men and Little Miss the perfect story time experience for children aged 2+ with the parents, teachers, librarians, and grandparents who have grown with the series. The Mr Men and Little Miss books have been delighting children for generations with their charming and funny antics. The addition of this story highlights the evolution of this wonderful series in an intimate and sentimental way. This edition of Mr Tickle includes Adam’s story about his question to his father which started it all. The new stories are now written by Adam Hargreaves, who is all grown up with stories of his own to tell. There are now 84 classic stories and many more books with those favourite characters and fictional lands. Roger created more small books with memorable characters, and Mr Men became an instant success. Mr Men began when eight-year-old Adam Hargreaves asked his father “what does a tickle look like?”. Now, 50 years later, you can enjoy the special upsized edition of the classic story with a bonus new story about how it all began. In 1971, Roger Hargreaves’ Mr Tickle was published, bringing fun, tickles, and laughter to children everywhere. Can you believe it’s been 50 years since Mr Tickle, the first Mr Men book, was released? Seeing that familiar orange figure, with extraordinarily long arms and a tiny blue hat on a shiny gold hardback cover, certainly brought back childhood memories for me.
